	The first hop addition will also be added when the burner is lit and left in the wort for the remainder of the boil. The time to bring the water up to boil with the grains in the water should not be included in boil time.

Yeast:	Using Scottish Ale yeast, mainly because of the cold temps in my cellar. 1056 would be my first choice in warmer conditions.

Tasting:	Brewed this beer last year, and it turned out really well. Tweaked the hop bill this time around based on what was available at the homebrew shop and also reduced the amount of cane sugar.
